our Poltrana Frau moment

day light wet dream:
surprisingly we found ourselves in love and living with exquisite Italian leather furniture, the
POLTRANA FRAU historical collection...
not just eachother (he, a cancer researcher, short, dark, husky; animal lover, pisces, terrific soul, +
i, not the worst of all, but a symphonic oboist + tireless Amnesty International activist).
each evening we return to our high windowed flat overlooking the shimmering river...all forest + mint green + cream with
CHAMELEON FINE LIGHTING signature collection sconces
aglow on the walls.
the dream ends, his dumping me for a young med student/erotica model, my weeping more for missing the arm chairs than my ravishing ex.
no assembly required nor death by hammers involved.

BANKSY'S LATEST



"We are sitting on the couch not seeing her. From what I understand, the elephant is a symbol of all the world's problems being ignored," said Kari Johnson, Tai's caretaker. Johnson said Tai, 38, lives on a private southern California elephant ranch and has appeared in several commercials..."There is nothing in the world I would ever do to harm an elephant. The paint is nontoxic and washable and does not hurt a bit," Johnson told Reuters.
TAI, PAINTED ELEPHANT
hmm, Banksy, if that's what was meant, not heavy (handed) at all, heh!
((we enjoyed the Paris Hilton CD altering, a nice job in the tradition of the Barbie Liberation Front's mutated voiceboxes stunt; was great how the Virgin Records spokesperson expressed admiration for getting them out, altered and snuck back in the stores, the panache of it, while noting that none of the altered CD's were returned.))
